This is one of those examples where not reading the blurb is the right way to go - knocked my socks off!

Concept: ★★★★★
Plot: ★★★
World building: ★★★★★

This review is going to be SUPER short because to be honest, this novella is so brief that if I write a few paragraphs there will be nothing left for the story!

Binti is the first of her race to leave their planet. She's a mathematical genius from a family of Harmonizers, and she's received shocking news: her test results are in, and she has been accepted to a prestigious intergalactic university. She's the first of her people to be accepted.

Against her family's wishes, Binti goes.

Her family didn't want her to go because their people don't leave Earth. It's just not done—the world isn't as accepting of their culture, and it's a dangerous universe out there. 

Best not to tell them then about the hostile takeover on Binti's ship en route to university. 

Who said leaving home would be easy, again? 

This novella is the first in a trilogy, and THANK GOD for that—after the first one, I need to know more of Binti's story. It was too brief! I need more! Can we get a full novel, please?
